The active ingredients in K9 Advantix II help keep your dog safe from ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes. These effective compounds attack the pests' nerve cells, paralyzing and effectively killing them, as well as repelling them from future attacks. Most ticks are repelled and killed before they can attach, which may reduce the risk of transmitting disease-causing organisms to your pet.

Fights Against Fleas at All Stages of Development

K9 Advantix II protects your pet against fleas at all stages of the parasite's development. K9 Advantix II breaks the flea life cycle by killing the living fleas on your dog before they can lay eggs. It also prevents the development of existing flea eggs, larvae, and pupae, helping to prevent future infestations.

K9 Advantix II also kills reinfesting fleas (newly hatched fleas jumping back on your dog) within two hours, and it prevents fleas on a treated dog from infesting your home.

Effective Against Biting Flies and Lice

In addition to complete tick, flea, and mosquito protection, K9 Advantix II also repels painful biting flies from feeding on your dog, and it effectively kills up to 100 percent of lice within one week of treatment.

Waterproof Formula

K9 Advantix II is waterproof, so there's no need to reapply after your dog has a bath or goes for a swim. Studies show that dogs are still protected against parasites after exposure to water, though for best results, dogs treated with K9 Advantix II should be bathed with a non-detergent shampoo.

Ingredients

KEY INGREDIENTS

Imidacloprid

Imidacloprid
is an ectoparasiticide, an antiparasitic agent that targets parasites
living primarily on the surface of a host. Chemically classified as a
chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine, imidacloprid inhibits neurotransmitter
transmission in insects, resulting in paralysis and death.

Benefits

Imidacloprid
exhibits both adulticide and larvicidal flea efficacy; it not only
kills adult fleas and larvae on your pet, but it also kills larval
stages in your pet's immediate surroundings.

Main Purpose

To kill fleas at all stages of their life cycles and stop them from being able to move or feed.

Permethrin

Permethrin
is the additional ingredient in Advantix. It belongs to the Type I
class of pyrethroid acaricides and insecticides, and it also acts as a
repellent. Pyrethroids affect muscle and nerve cells' sodium ion
channels by increasing their mean open time, which leads to
hyperexcitability and death of the parasite.

Benefits

Thanks to its repelling activity, permethrin reduces parasite bites and thus the risk of diseases and stress for your dog.

Main Purpose

To repel ticks, sand flies, and mosquitoes; to kill ticks and fleas.

Two Proven Ingredients with Enhanced Activity

Imidacloprid
and permethrin work together to overwhelm the nervous system of the
parasite, providing neurotoxic activity beyond that of each compound
alone. This leads to more profound and quicker insect paralysis and
death.

Specifically,
imidacloprid increases the efficacy of permethrin by activating insect
nerve cells and increasing the frequency of neurotransmissions. As a
result, more sodium channels are opened and the pyrethroid can interact
much better with its target site.

Pyriproxyfen

Pyriproxyfen
is a pyridine-based pesticide. A juvenile hormone analog, it interferes
with the hormone signaling of growing insects, so that insects in
immature stages are unable to mature. Additionally, a female insect that
touches the toxin will produce eggs that will not hatch.

Benefits

Pyriproxyfen
provides an added layer of protection for pets and their surroundings.
It interrupts the flea life cycle at multiple stages, halting the growth
and development of insect eggs and larvae and preventing reinfestation.

Main Purpose

To prevent flea eggs from hatching and larvae from growing.

Useful Information

How to Apply

Applying
K9 Advantix II to your pet is a fast and easy process. First, remove
the K9 Advantix II applicator tube from its packaging and use scissors to peel down the
foil. Next, hold the applicator tube in an upright position and pull
the cap off the tube. Use the upturned cap to break the protective seal,
and you're ready for application.

For
easiest application, your dog should be standing upright. Evenly apply
the entire contents of the K9 Advantix II tube to two or three spots
from the back of the shoulder to the base of the tail. Part the hair at
each spot until the skin is visible, then place the tip of the tube on
the skin and gently squeeze out a portion of the solution. Be careful
not to apply an excessive amount of the solution in any one spot,
otherwise some of the solution might run off the side of your dog.
Dispose of the container and do not reuse or refill. Do not empty unused
product in any indoor or outdoor drain.

For
optimal control and prevention of parasites, use K9 Advantix II every
month. K9 Advantix II is available in four- and six-month supplies. Do
not use K9 Advantix II on cats or any animals other than dogs.

Application Instructions

Evenly
apply the entire contents of the tube to four to six spots on the top
of the back--from the shoulder to the base of the tail. Apply monthly.

Length of Effectiveness

Under
normal conditions, the product is effective for one month. However, in
cases of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier
than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every seven days.
After flea control is attained, return to a monthly retreatment
schedule.
